Midnight Release Question - Pacific Time vs. Eastern Time...Digital vs. Hard Copy
1) If I live in central time and if I get the hard copy at midnight release will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
2) If I live in central time and if I get the digital copy (preloaded) will I be able to play at midnight central time or will I have to wait until 2am to play?
3) Why does gamestops website say 9am central standard time on 9/9 to be able to play destiny's digital download copy?
4) If I do pick the game up at midnight or have it downloaded at midnight central time will I only be able to play campaign then and not PvP?
Sorry if this is confusing but my god I am used to picking up a game at midnight and playing right away so this is not consistent with other midnight (central time) releases.

6 RepliesBungie's servers are already online, people are playing right now. You can play any hard copy whenever you get the game regardless of where you live. Most digital copies unlock at 12am local time to adhere to the release date. American digital downloads unlock at 12 pst because all Americans use the same PSN/XBL store. If they released at 12 eastern, then MS/Sony would be breaking release agreements with the publisher because they would effectively be releasing the game hours early for players on the west coast. Now everyone stop asking.
